    The event was very organized. Kathleen Fritch was our host, she was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful to the beginners in our group. She was very considerate of the each persons needs during our 2 hour photo walk. Over all I had a very enjoyable experience. Another hour longer would have been great but the good weather turned on us.

    I knew going in that this was a beginner class, even though I have been into photography for many years. I wanted to start with a baseline class, and then continue with more advanced classes, which is the reason that I signed up. For the beginner this was a very good class. The instructor was very approachable, informative, and made sure that all questions were answered, and was very patient with assisting other class members in setting up their cameras. The instructor covered all of the basic components of photography and did a really good job with the class.

    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Kathleen Fritch
    Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. There's something truly magical about capturing a moment in time and being able to share it with others. Whether it's the vibrant colors of a sunset, the intricate details of a flower, or the candid expressions of people, photography allows us to see the world in a unique and beautiful way.

    In addition to being a photographer, I am also an avid runner. Running keeps me energized and focused, and it has taught me the importance of patience and perseverance 2014qualities that are equally valuable in photography. Just like running, photography is about the journey as much as the destination. It's about exploring, experimenting, and finding joy in the process.

    So, let's get started and embark on this creative adventure together!

    Kathleen Fritch is available for private bookings

    Available most Saturdays from 2pm until 6pm for private tutoring.

When she made eye contact with me the other day, it was the perfect moment with the perfect pose, so I couldn?t resist to tell her to pose pretty, and she did!

    I walk this park regularly.My biggest decision is what lens to bring with me a long lens or a shorter zoom lens.Today I had the short zoom and there was the Heron.I stopped and started shooting and the Heron never moved I repositioned myself and started to shoot again and it never moved.Sometimes I think they understand what you are doing.

    I enjoy very much to capture the glory of creation. This photo was taken from McDade Park in Scranton Pennsylvania known as ?SteamTown? for the iconic Pennsylvania Railroad , which is ironic for a caption of a ?Ghost Train ? to say the least. McDade Park is a restored coal mine which gives tours of the old mine and it?s a beautiful park and I frequent it often.

    I met young Miles at Ellis Square while he was doing some rather gymnastic break dancing. Luckily, for me, I was using my Nikon Z7 which allowed me to switch from raw to jpeg giving me 9 frames per second on motor drive. I was shooting aperture preferred and used f/8 the resulting shutter speed was 1/1600 of a second. 9fps sounds fast but I only had 6 nicely composed shots out of 120 exposures.

    I had spent the better part of the day moving silently through the edges of the chase looking to photograph deer. It was one of those days that seemed perfect on paper: overcast skies that softened the light, barely a breath of wind, and a camera battery at full charge. But nature is nothing if not humbling. The deer remained ghost-like, unseen despite hours of quiet patience and soft steps.By late afternoon my hopes had dimmed so I began the slow walk back to the car. The path wound through
